Chapter 1688 The End of Filming and the Bitter Battle
"Disaster has been successfully captured!"
Seeing that Jizai had been trapped in the glacial world, joy flashed in the eyes of many members of the Twilight Society.
To be honest, before the encirclement began, none of the Twilight Society members were confident. After all, the power of the Calamity was among the strongest of the major world-destroying forces, and most of the Twilight Society members were not qualified to fight it head-on...
But this perfectly coordinated capture undoubtedly gave everyone a lot of confidence. They surrounded the enormous creature that was crawling on the ice field, their teeth constantly pressed against the poison in their mouths, their whole bodies tense.
Just then, the enormous image seemed to be enraged. Its abyss-like maw slowly opened, and the lanterns above its head burst forth with dazzling light like the blazing sun!
roar--!!!!
The deafening roar swept across the ice field, instantly creating dense cracks in the ice surface within a radius of several kilometers.
The eerie, writhing incantations flowed from its body like black water, spreading along the ice surface and outwards. The originally solid and thick ice surface was suddenly transformed into a flowing black sea, churning in the biting cold wind...
The next second, tens of thousands of black raindrops, like splashing seawater, shot towards the crowd in the sky!
"Caution!! Do not touch any substances released by the disaster!"
Zhao Yi immediately reminded everyone.
The members of the Twilight Society were already prepared and immediately dispersed in all directions.
Red Heart J's white hair danced in the wind. He snorted coldly, and the curved blade in his hand was so fast that it wove into an impenetrable wall, forcefully shattering all the approaching Black Rain!
Just as J of Hearts lowered his scimitar, the sharp blade suddenly began to writhe strangely, and black runes appeared to cover it. Before his astonished eyes, the blade cleaved in two from the edge...
The already sharp and thin blade seemed to have turned into two thin metal sheets, which then split into four, eight pieces...
The gold-inlaid scimitar seemed to transform into an octopus, writhing wildly in the air before suddenly turning 180 degrees and thrusting back at the hand holding the hilt of the Hearts J.
This scene was so unbelievable that even J of Hearts didn't react in time. Even though he quickly released the hilt, his own knife still cut several bloody wounds on the back of his hand... A writhing scimitar fell into the churning black sea and disappeared without a trace.
Red Hearts J stared at his empty palm, his face extremely pale!
The Jack of Hearts is in a relatively good position, having only lost his weapon, but the situation is much worse for some of the weaker members.
The 8 of Diamonds letter writer, dressed in a gray cloth robe, and the 7 of Clubs phonograph operator, dressed in an elegant long dress, both had very limited combat power. At this moment, several drops of black rain had already stained their bodies, and strange incantations were spreading on their flesh!
Their arms, shoulders, and all the places covered by the incantation seemed to possess their own consciousness, beginning to bizarrely split apart... even growing a third arm, a fourth hand...
The third arm that grew from the letter writer turned its head and grabbed its own neck; while the hand that grew from Plum Blossom 7 produced a miniature phonograph the size of a palm, from which a chilling and eerie melody rang out, directly affecting the minds of the surrounding Twilight Society members!
Swish-!
A paintbrush swept across the void, severing the letter writer's arm and the hand of Plum Blossom 7 into pieces. Plum Blossom 8, carrying its easel, floated lightly in front of them, looking at its two bloodied companions with reluctance and helplessness in its eyes.
"Your injuries are too severe. Once the fighting gets out of hand, I'm afraid no one will have a chance to take care of you..."
"I understand."
The 8 of Diamonds and the 7 of Clubs exchanged a glance, a helpless smile playing on their lips.
"We have almost no fighting power. Even if a fight breaks out, we won't be of much use, and might even just be a hindrance... However, being able to get here together for 'team building' is a success for us." Plum Blossom 7's voice was gentle, like a warm spring breeze.
“We might have to go first.” Square 8 glanced deeply at the figures swarming towards the disaster in the distance. “The rest… is up to you.”
Mei Hua 8 didn't know what to say. Farewells were his least favorite thing. After hesitating for a long time, he finally repeated Chen Ling's words and spoke softly:
"...Congratulations on wrapping up filming."
A roar came from afar. Plum Blossom 8 couldn't bear to watch any longer. He bowed to the two of them to say goodbye, then turned and rushed towards the battlefield.
At the same time, the 8 of Diamonds and the 7 of Clubs exchanged a glance and simultaneously crushed the poison in their mouths.
Chen Ling combined the five poisons and personally concocted a poison that was extremely potent. Almost the instant the poison was crushed, the internal organs of the two members of the Twilight Society were completely destroyed. They only felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, felt no pain, and died on the spot...
The two corpses fell heavily to the ground.
"Members below the seventh rank should look for opportunities on the periphery! Do not act rashly!"
"If you discover you are injured, immediately swallow poison!!"
Liu Qingyan moved swiftly across the battlefield, dividing all the members into three layers according to their combat strength. The outermost layer consisted of the weaker members, the middle layer comprised several seventh-tier members, and the innermost layer consisted of eighth-tier combat power...
Ning Ruyu, Luan Mei, Wenren You, Mo Jiao, Zhao Yi, Hui Wang, Bai Ye, Sun Bumian, Jiang Xiaohua.
Nine eighth-tier combatants were scattered around Ji Zai, restraining him like a giant millstone, gradually wearing down his strength, with rumbling sounds echoing through the sky.
During the occasional retaliation of the disaster, members of the Twilight Society, whether in the middle or outer layers, were inevitably injured. Fortunately, they were only affected and would not die on the spot. As soon as they realized that their injuries could not be effectively treated, they would swallow poison and end their own lives.
The coroner of the 7 of Diamonds, the neuroscientific genius girl of the 8 of Hearts, the corpse-driver of the 8 of Spades, the couple of the 9 of Clubs and the 9 of Diamonds...
As the battle intensified, the number of personnel on the Twilight Society's side was rapidly decreasing.
roar--!!!!
Seemingly finding these humans extremely annoying, Ji Zai's anger grew even stronger, and the lantern that illuminated the entire ice field lit up again, with an extremely chaotic aura mixed in with the light, spreading to the surroundings!
"Not good!" Zhao Yi exclaimed immediately, "Its incantation is starting to pollute the space. Be careful of the disordered distortion and fission of space!"
Before Zhao Yi could finish speaking, the two figures, Mo Jiao and Hui Wang, who were not far away, vanished into thin air...
This was not because they left voluntarily, but because the space of this battlefield had fallen into a state of disorder under the influence of the Disaster Lantern. Although Zhao Yi knew about the Disaster Lantern's abilities, he had no good way to counter it and was extremely anxious.
Just then, the outline of a gigantic maw of abyss appeared above his head!
